should the court, therefore, strike done the defense of marriage act which is one of the cases that will be hearing this, this week, which bans federal benefits, for same sex couples, who are legally married in their states. would you strike down that as federal interference in a state matter? >> i think it is a really complicated issue. i have always said the states have a right to decide. i do believe in traditional marriage, kentucky decided it, and i don't think the federal government should tell us otherwise. there are states that have decided in the opposite fashion, and i don't think the federal government should tell anybody or any state government how they should decide this. marriage has been a state issue for hundreds and hundreds of years. it is complicated, because it provides protection for the states from the federal government. but, you are right. part of it federalizes the issue. i think there is a chance the court could strike down the federalization part of it. if they do, i think the way to fix it is maybe to try to make all of our laws more neutral towards the issue,
